Cobbler in Ajax for motorcycle boots

Forum Sponsor
When I got my KTM (35.5" seat height), and I am only 5'4" with a 29" inseam, I took my boots to the shoe repair place here. I asked him about a thicker added sole. He handed me one off the shelf he had done for another person, and asked me to bend it. I couldn't. It was like he glued a piece of plywood to the bottom of the boot. Becasue I need to be able to bend my foot some, when tippy toeing on the bike, I decided against adding anything to my boots.

So now I just ride a bike that is WAY too tall for me. LOL

look into lowering links, fairly cheap, its a reversible process if you sell the bike. Or have the seat shaved if you just need an inch or so, permanent but easily changed back.

The bombshell boot looks hot on a girl, but only if that's your style.
 
Now that's a tall bike!

People make fun of the Icon Bombshell motorcycle boot for women.
But I tell you, it's a real motorcycle boot and offers sustantial protection!
It is all padded on the front, and armored around ankle-points.
It has a titanium heel plate, and genuine motorcycle sole.
It looks like a go-go boot from the 70's, heheh... something a fashion model (or hooker) would wear.
But it will add three inches to any woman's height!
An honest three inches at least, and not spindly heels either.
Most women I know, however, lack the self-confidence to wear this boot...
Anyway - wanted to recommend, could help your situation.

People never made fun of them infront me me but oh well. I love em :) I only ride in my construction boots in these three scerios, taking a passenger, riding to work (teaching) or riding to a site visit. Otherwise I am in a heel. And I follow simple rules for what I wear.

Boot has to be a sturdy material
Heel has to be thick so I dont worry about it breaking and messing me up when I put my foot down.
Boot comes over my ankles.

Nope, I'm the kinda girl that only wears heals when I'm dressed up. I know Cat has them and she loves them:) Lil Sushi rides in heals all the time.

They look friggen hawt and you are a petite lady that can pull them off no problem.

:) Whats hot is riding behind Raf or Lil sushi... thats hot

But anyways I love the bombshell boats and I stuck a simple insole in them and they are comfy. Heck I do that to most my shoes. Get an insole and they go from uncomfortable to completely wearable.
 
Again (to be clear) people only laugh when the see them on display for sale, from a distance... y'know.
When they pick 'em up and actually look, you can see they're top-quality and a very good boot!
There's enough protection there for any casual street-rider...
She'd need more only for the racetrack.
ALL women can wear this boot and look good!
But it's been my experience that certain women cannot picture themselves wearing "something like that".
It's kinda too bad. (Those women are often... single.)

Maybe they ain't all that bad after all :icon_smile:. If I can snag a pair for on the cheap, they might be worth a try!

What would you prefer, lowering links or the boots!? If I get the boots, I need leather pants too :P.

Yes.
(Whew!) definitely.
Now all we need is some matching leather Bombshell wrist bracers...

Sherry tried them on at Royal Distributing, while she was impressed, they really aren't practical. All I could think is broken ankles and legs.

To each their own. But then I don't do the type of riding that these boots wouldnt be safe enough for. And they kinda stuff that would take me down regardless will do that amount of damage despite what I am wearing.

Lisa... I'm with ya with the leather :D Hence leather interior in my car :D
